Weights and Measures

Weights and measures
mute gastronome pleasures
as we approach this season of cheer

Progress we plot
with a kilo and watt
while abstaining from Malt Balls and Beer.

A foodies true test:
Abstain when noshing's the best
and just watch with a grin and a tear.

Is it worth it? Who knows?
Surely the races will show!
But for now know there's less of us here.

    yes, the poetry is great...

    but that body fat caliper...not so much.

    I cannot dispute
    that your poems are cute
    although they are not all of my type

    and although its no fun to have dyslexia
    its not as serious as anorexia
    which we hope is not the next fashion

    so don't get lost in the metre
    you be sure to feed her
    both your daughter and mine.

    Here I sit munching,
    Dyslexic and crunching,
    Wishing I had your control.

    The Xmas ale is grand,
    Malt ball chaser in hand,
    my scale’s spring beginning to unroll.

    So I raise my beer glass
    To your greatness and class
    Saluting your difficult goal.

    For the challenge is the more great,
    When others your destination berate
    Just remember that quitters get coal.
